AN EFFECTIVE LEADER IN THE ILLINOIS SENATE Citizens for Schaffer 96 North Williams Street Crystal Lata. IL 00014 best interests of all con­ cerned to support this issue for a better tomorrow for all McHenry. "Sincerely, "Former Alderman "William J. Bolger" "Editor: "Even before the new hospital became a key factor, the annexation of McHenry Shores made good common sense, Annexing the Shores would be a tremendous savings in hard earned tax dollars now as well as in the future. The elimination of the many d u p l i c a t e d s e r v i c e s necessary to run the two municipalities makes this s a v i n g s p o s s i b l e . Duplications such as police protection, legal council, parks and recreation, water treatment, etc. are very expensive. If they can be consolidated, we all are winners. "There has been much discussion about the McHenry Shores' strained financial position. This has been fueled by the monies owed by McHenry Shores for road repair studies. There has also been much discussion over the current road conditions. "The facts show the following: First, the Shores' assets appear to exceed their liabilities by some $75,000. This asset would become the city of McHenry's. McHenry would be liable for approximately $40,000 of monies owed for the road study. The roads are in a poor state of repair and must be repaired. The money to repair these roads would most likely come from a "special assessment" being established in McHenry Shores. This, of course, means that there would be very little expense to the citizens of McHenry. Secondly, services such as police protection must be provided. "It must be understood that the people of McHenry Shores pay taxes the same as the citizens of McHenry. The additional revenue will more than pay the additional expenses the city may incur. We pay our way and so will the people of McHenry Shores if given the opportunity. "Along with the McHenry Shores annexation comes an excellent established and growing industrial park. Industrial revenues are much desired by city governments and citizens because they help establish a stable and workable tax base to provide for our needs. "Now let's return to the building of the new McHenry hospital and the situation at hand . Because of the new EPA legislation established only a month ago, it would appear that it is very unlikely that the hospital can be built at all if McHenry Shores is not annexed to the city of McHenry. To simplify a very complex situation, let us simply state that there is virtually no way to get a permit to build the necessary sewer lines for the new hospital in time because of the new EPA regulations that state that the sewer lines from the new hospital site cannot be connected to the existing sewer plant because of boundary lines, and the time frame involving the financing of the hospital. It is also apparent the hospital's Certificate of Need will expire before a permit can be negotiated with McHenry Shores, McHenry, and the EPA. "The entire EPA situation can be bypassed by the annexation of McHenry Shores. This is the case because if the 'city' and McHenry Shores were 'one', the EPA would then have no objection as to where the sewer lines would run. "What does the new hospital mean to McHenry? the benefits are astronomical! Let's begin with the construction of the $29,000,000 hospital. It will mean hundreds of construction jobs for local workers. Approximately $8,000,000 will be spent on labor alone. Many more millions of dollars in materials will be purchased locally. The workers will also eat and buy locally while on the job. McHenry's economy could use a good 'shot in the arm'. The hospital is that shot! "After the hospital is built, it will employ 100 additional people. These workers and their families will most likely live and shop in McHenry. The growth of the many supporting facilities and businesses will, of course, be a natural progression of events in the area. "I fully realize that the annexation of McHenry Shores, and the building of the new McHenry hospital, are both extremely complex issues. Combined, they are almost impossible situations to comprehend even with a v a i l a b l e f a c t s . Nevertheless. I am absolutely convinced that it is in the best interest of all McHenry citizens to annex the Shores and build the hospital. To allow the hospital and all it means to our city to slip through our fingers would be a travesty which may never be repairable. "We will not get a second chance. Other communities want our hospital. If we don't build now, we most likely won't build at all.

Let's not be a penny wise and a pound foolish!! "BryceC. Klontz "President, McHenry "Area Chamber of "of Commerce" "Editor: "A am in favor of an­ nexation for many reasons; however, I feel that the main advantage for both com­ munities is purely an economical one. "We are in an area of great future develop­ ment....it is very obvious that all of our interests will be better served through a merger of this kind. "Two entities working against each other can be very expensive, but one community working for the same purpose and goal benefits all of the citizens efficently, effectively and economically. "Mary Lou Heald "807 South Carol Ave. "McHenry Shores" "Editor: "The advantages of a merger between the Shores and the city of McHenry are many and mostly obvious. "We have reached the point in the road where we now must decide: do we join and mutually work together to better our communities or do we stay separated and expend our energies com­ peting? "This is the real issue that our votes will decide. "Larry Weber "3503 Vine St. "McHenry Shores" "Editor: "Annexation of McHenry Shores to the City of McHenry is definitely ad­ vantageous to both com­ munities. The immediate advantage to the Shores would be the assumption of the $40,000 debt by the City of McHenry. "The future advantage would be the possible in­ stallation of sewers and better drainage facilities with the government grant which the Shores now has which McHenry can capitalize on because of their solid financial base. "McHenry's immediate advantage would be the acquisition of the Shores community property and vehicles which outweigh the $40,000 liability. "The future advantage to McHenry would be the sole control of the metropolitan services, such as policing, sn&w •plowing ana main­ tenance of public property; also, planning for the growth of industrial parks, single family and multiple family dwellings, roads, bridges and community sewage services "Annexation should be a must for both communities. "Edwin Olbinski "605 S. Meadow "McHenry Shores" "Editor: "I strongly favor an­ nexation of McHenry Shores to the City of McHenry, because I feel both com­ munities will benefit working as one, pooling resources and can only build one strong united city. "In these economic times it makes sense to work together and under Mayor Joseph Stanek's leadership. I feel we would be well represented and our best interests taken into con­ sideration. "Nina L. Keen "McHenry Shores" ' "Editor: "I'm in favor of an­ nexation. If McHenry Shores and McHenry city are to prosper in the most economical and smoothest way, and if we don't want to see issues complicated like * we see with the new ** proposed hospital, this annexation must be passed. "The only reservation thatM I have had was the display of ; leadership that , some aldermen in McHenry city , have shown. However, my T concerns of being a Me to trust the aldermen in McHenry are nullified when I remember the pow^r > that the majority h^ve (McHenry Shores Road Assessment). The people en mass can change tningft. Also the leadership that Mayor Stanek has shown that he represents the' in- ,! terest of all the people. "Charles Werth "Village Trustee "McHenry Shores" "Editor: <1/ "Yes, I am in favor m annexation. By uniting the communities, we become one in search of growth and . business expansiqns. Utilizing the talents of residents of both the communities, going forward would be smoother and more concentrated. Individually, McHenry Shores and the City of McHenry ' become competitors, effectively trying to block each other and therefore causing stagnation in both com­ munities. "This is only one of the advantages of annexation. The possibilities are endless. We will be limited only by our attitudes and lack of foresight into the future. "Donna Tobeck "Village Trustee "McHenry Shores" "Editor: "I sincerely believe that annexation will be in the best interests of both the City of McHenry residents and residents of the Village of McHenry Shores. "We can all contribute to ' well regulated growth and + progress. "LeonZelvis "Building and "Zoning Office "Emergency Services "Coordinator "McHenry Shores" "Editor: "I am for annexation beacuse: Effective local government was never more critical in this century. The need is here and notf. An­ nexation provides the best solution to shared problems. The nation's financial crisis, ! affects us all.The dollar ! crunch will be felt morft at. the local levelU." br . f i me "Consolidation ' Will4 provide cost-efficient means for providing basic services. Of all, the need for new sewers and sewerage basic services. Of all, the need for new sewers and sewerage treatment are .the most acute. Demonstrated are the requirements for a new McHenry hospital and the elimination of septic systems in the immediate area. Annexation will assure that plans for the hospital and sewer needs for the immediate vicinity will go forward with least delay. "Ellen H. Semrow "605 S.
